Patent EP-0259252-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01N25/04
Filed: 1987-08-10
Granted: 1991-03-06
Abstract: To determine the gelling behaviour of reactive resin systems as a function of time in a better and more reliable way, the variations with time of temperature and the associated gelling times are determined for a plurality of different setpoint temperatures. The standardised conversion until the gelling point is reached is then calculated for every setpoint temperature on the basis of the measured temperature variation, the measured gelling time and the Arrhenius equation with starting values for the reaction constants roughly determined from the temperature variations. Finally, the reaction constants are varied until the calculated conversions are within a specified error limit, the reaction constants selected last representing the result. The apparatus adapted for this method has a container (2) with a microscopic capacity for the resin system to be examined, a heating bath (1) for the container (2), a viscosity measuring device for the resin, a recording device for the resin temperature and a time recording device. The viscosity measuring device comprises a temperature sensor (3) which is immersed in the container (2) and which moves up and down automatically, and a detector (61-63) which interacts with the sensor (3) and which responds if the resistance force brought about by the viscosity of the sample exceeds a limit value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When taking X-ray photographs or the like there is used a movable tower structure or ceiling-mounted frame which carries a beam source (6) arranged for movement in the X, Y and Z directions and rotatable about a horizontal axis. A receptor unit (7) is mounted beneath a patient support table (1) for movement in the X-direction and Y-direction. Activation of a holder (15) associated with the receptor unit and intended to receive a vertically extending secondary receptor for horizontal beam path causes the beam source (6) to move automatically to a basic setting for horizontal, centered beam path onto the secondary receptor. Various types of secondary receptor holders (15) can be applied. The frame or tower structure may also carry a tertiary receptor holder (9).

Title: Instantaneous hot water storage heater
IPC: F24D3/08
Filed: 1988-07-21
Granted: 1992-03-04
Abstract: In an instantaneous hot water storage heater (1) with a heat- transmitting member arranged inside the storage space, this member is arranged in the form of a tube coil (19) coaxially with the vertical axis between two concentric guide walls (20, 21 or 18, 20). The inner guide wall (20) delimits a central displacement space (25) which in the lower region of the tube coil (19) is connected via radial openings (26) of the inner guide wall (20) to the annular space (24) delimited by the two guide walls (20, 21 or 20, 18). This annular space (24) can at its upper and lower side be connected to an outer annular space (27) delimited by an outer guide wall (21) and the storage heater wall (18) and connected to the hot water outlet pipe (23) (Fig. 2). The outer guide wall can also, however, be formed by the storage heater wall (18) itself and then delimits only with the inner guide wall (20) an annular space (24) which is connected at the top and at the bottom to the central space (25) (Fig. 3). By virtue of this design, the storage heater (1) can be dimensioned in slender manner and accommodated together with a water heater (2) associated with a circulating heating system in a common housing (3) as a wall-mounted device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two-stage process for purifying wastewater containing organic and adsorbable pollutants includes the steps of first aerating the wastewater in the presence of a powdered adsorbent, such as activated carbon, and biologically active solids in the aeration zone of a primary treatment zone (10) which also includes a quiescent zone (14). The thus-treated water passes from the aeration zone (10) to the quiescent zone (14) where it is retained a sufficient time for a substantial portion of the suspended solids to settle by gravity. The partially-treated wastewater overflowing from the quiescent zone (14) is introduced into one or more contact zones (30) wherein it is agitated, preferably by aeration, in the presence of a powdered adsorbent, agitation is terminated and the solids are allowed to settle by gravity and, after completion of settling, clarified, substantially solids-free water is withdrawn from each contact zone.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing polyethylene wax having a narrow molecular weight distribution in a gas phase polymerization reactor. The invention particularly relates to the process of polymerizing ethylene in the presence of a supported metallocene-alumoxane catalyst and hydrogen. The catalyst may be derived from the addition of silica gel containing about 6 to about 20 percent by weight adsorbed water to a trialkylaluminum solution. An alumoxane coated silica gel is formed to which a metallocene may be added and the resulting material dried to free flowing powder. A trimethylaluminum pretreated metallocene may be employed when the trialkylaluminum is selected from the group consisting of triethylaluminum, tripropylaluminum, tri-n-butyl-aluminum, tri-isobutylaluminum, tri(2-methylpentyl)aluminum, trihexylaluminum, tri-n-octylaluminum and tri-n-decylaluminum.

Abstract: In the case of known thread stop-motion devices, the thread is monitored at one point on its course. The device according to the invention, on the other hand, monitors the thread in various regions along its course and, if a defect arises during the passage of the thread through one of these regions, triggers a corresponding switching process. The thread stop-motion device (28) has first sensor units (13) in the region between the thread supply (10) and the corresponding tensioning device (19, 27) and second sensor units (22 and 26) in the region between said tensioning device and the corresponding stitch-forming element (17, 24) which, in the event of a thread defect, emit signals which, for the purpose of producing different switching operations, can be evaluated differently. The thread stop-motion device is used preferably in stitch-forming machines.

Abstract: An information distribution system provides information to a user, when the information corresponds to criteria individually selected by the user, and then charges the user only for the selected information thus provided. Encrypted information packages (IP's) are provided at the user site, via high and/or low density storage media and/or by broadcast transmission. The IP's selected by the user are decrypted and then printed or displayed for viewing by the user. The charges for the IP's thus displayed are accumulated within the user apparatus and periodically reported by telephone (36) to the system's central accounting facility which issues encryption keys. The encryption keys, used to decrypt the IP's, are changed periodically. If the central accounting facility has not issued a new encryption key for a particular user station, the station is unable to retrieve information from the system when the key is changed.
